Slip-sliding away—Disassembling Hawaiian volcanoes

Black dashed lines delineate 17 distinct landslides that have occurred around the Hawaiian Islands over the last several million years. The largest slides originated from the north sides of O‘ahu and Moloka‘i. Colors ranging from pink to purple indicate the water depth around the islands, while shades of gray show land topography above sea level. Red areas on the Island of Hawai‘i indicate lava flows erupted within the past 200 years.
